Still, I have a hard time to think someone will score high on the authorative scale. I mean who would actually strongly agree with "It's fine for women to have careers, but their first duty is to be homemakers." nowdays?
ROFL, Fas perhaps?

@Dragon W: True.
Except, as Caenorhabditis points out, for Fas looking for hugs.

My assumption is that he likes to think of them as submissive when nobody is there to convince him otherwise.

He is an enigmatic man.
Yet frighteningly predicatable.

I'm like Ghandi, I guess.

Seems to be a popular trend I guess

He was much further over on both axes. You're probably closer to Prince Charles.

That's great. Now could someone explain to me just what the hell that means?

Closest to Gandhi I would guess, but I seem to be less of a communist and more of an anarchist than he is

Also near Ghandi. C'mon now, we can't all be bleedin' hearts!
I'm just waiting for Buck's score to balance us out. The only question is will he be the benevolent Hitler type dictator or the cruel Thatcher type! (Joking, of course. Stalin is Buck's kind of guy!
)

Gods, I think I'm still the big radical, here. Maybe I'll call myself Red Fable, the Banshee Bolshevik. Could put myself up on display for a few hours each weekday. Who knows? Might generate some extra revenue for this particular working class comrade.

I'm next to Tony Benn...
Did anyone else find themselves feeling 'strongly' about almost all the issues?

Surprise, surprise
Well, I came out as:
Economic Left/Right: 5.38
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -3.79
But I must say that I prefer
this political test to the one presented by The Z. Maybe because it is presented by a pseudo-libertarian organization.
But I think it does a better job of describing your results. Check it out.
EDIT: The one I link to is shorter, but it doesn't have quite so many loaded questions, either. I had a hard time answering some of The Z's questions, because they were just way too deep for a simple Agree/Disagree. Maybe that's just me.

Lazarus' Test
South-You are a Southerner-an egalitarian-which means that you advocate an increased role for the government in the economic realm. You are more or less pleased the government's role in the personal realm.
Better questions on this one, IMO - but the result wasn't really very accurate
Probably not enough questions....

Oh, I suppose I should give my results for my own test.
NW-You would feel most at home in the Northwest region. You advocate a large degree of economic and personal freedom. Your neighbors include folks like Ayn Rand, Jesse Ventura, Milton Friedman, and Drew Carey, and may refer to themselves as "classical liberals," "libertarians," "market liberals," "old whigs," "objectivists," "propertarians," "agorists," or "anarcho-capitalist."
Right-o! I'm an ANARCHO-CAPITALIST!!
I should also note that my test does require that you submit an e-mail address. I gave them mine some time ago, and have not been spammed by them (I did check
off the box that said "please send me more info.") But you can also give a bum e-mail, if giving out that info bothers you.
